FNOklahoma

Posted by Mark Toler on 09/23/2021

Come join ZFW and ZKC for an unique FNO experience. This is the 3rd occurrence of FNOklahoma in VATUSA history.

This FNOklahoma will not be your average FNO. We will try to staff as many towered airports in the state of Oklahoma as we can! We encourage those who want to participate to fly their favorite GA aircraft or business jet. TUL and OKC will also be staffed for your airline flying needs.

Towers will be staffed in accordance with their actual operating hours (please look them up as some will close prior to the event closing time). Flight following will be available depending on controller workload. VFR traffic pattern will likely be unavailable and OKC and TUL due to controller workload. Extensive delays are possible into OKC and TUL due to traffic load and gate constraints.

Expect more information in the coming weeks that will include scenery links and more.
